Level: Intermediate
DAY 1
Nono – Tandayapa – Mindo by Bicycle:
06:30 A.M. We will pick you up at 6:30 a.m. in your hotel in Quito and will take the old road to the coast, making our first stop at our departure point, the little town of “Nono”. In Nono we will have a light, energizing breakfast before starting our descent through the incredible landscapes of the highlands, then discovering how the foliage changes as we enter the beautiful and bio-diverse sub-tropical forest.
After about two hours of descending, we will arrive at the village of Tandayapa. From here, we will climb 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) on the road to Bellavista. In this beautiful place we will enjoy a box lunch, then start a 27-kilometer (16.7-mile) descent to the entrance to Mindo, from which point we will need another hour to get to our final stop, Mindo Garden Inn.
It should be stressed that our vehicle will be behind us the entire 7 or 8 hours of our trip; you can get in and rest at any time if you should wish or need to.
At Mindo Garden we will direct you to your cabins so that you can take a well-deserved bath and prepare yourself for a succulent meal that will help you to recover your lost energy.
Later, you can simply rest, enjoy our bar, play a game of pool or relax by watching a movie or reading a book in our living room.
DAY 2
06:30 A.M. Breakfast.
07:30 A.M. We will go on a hike of approximately three hours on our property, where we will be able to observe a surprising variety of birds. We will penetrate the cloud forest, where we will also be able to see this zone's characteristic flora.
The trek will take us directly to the canopy, where we will end by crossing the forest on approximately 13 cables stretched between the giant tree tops.
At the end of the canopy, our vehicle will be waiting for us to take us to Mindo Garden, where we will have a well-earned lunch.
03:00 P.M. We Would visit the mariposario (butterfly house) where you can enjoy the magic of life in colorful butterflies.
Just 1 kilometer (.62 mile) from Mindo Garden, inner-tubing on the Mindo River awaits us. Here, depending on the season, we will be able to float for approximately 30 minutes down this exciting river.
